Start with turning the heat on in regular intervals before you actually need it. Towards the end of summer, early fall, turn on the heat and ensure that it's heating up properly. You don’t want to wait till it's below freezing outside to find out your heat is down.

You should also check your boiling unit’s pressure. The method for doing this is different depending on the type of unit you have.

Check that it has good ventilation. Just like any other heating system, boiling units need good heat ventilation to work at their best. Keep clutter away from your unit, not only for the heating ventilation but also to prevent creating a fire hazard.

Lastly, bleed your radiators and check for a blue flame, g﻿﻿et m﻿﻿ore info here to understand fire color meaning. To bleed the radiators, find a radiator key, turn off the heating mechanism, and open the valves of your radiator. Catch the drips of water from the valves in a disposable container.

Check the boiler’s pressure level and pipes and repeat the process on all the radiators within your property.

I was very pleased with how the plumbers fixed my boiler. They were efficient and friendly. They simpilified some technical terms and explained gas leak as the reason for the broken boiler. I would gladly hire them again. Good job!

Amanda H., Porty Moody BC

In the middle of the winter cold weather, my boiler suddenly broke down leaving us with no hot water! I immediately called Metro Vancouver Plumbing although I know it's pretty late at night. The next thing I know it's already fixed! They work so fast and professional, a very reliable company with reasonable cost.
